| Poll question: Dear Lounge: Please Advise! |
|
Dear Lounge Lonely Hearts Club:
Imagine there's this average-looking middle-aged broke-ass woman with a lot of other flaws also, and some well-connected financially-secure good-looking guy says he wants to be with her. ("Well-connected" in this case means "is often called by a WH staff member, has flown on AF1 recently, and knows the shlubby woman's second-favorite singer personally." "Financially secure" means "owned sports teams and fronts money for movies." "Be with" means "spend the rest of one's natural lifespan with.")
WTF would you say is going on, and what should our Theoretical Heroine's theoretical response theoretically be, in theory?
Sincerely,
Confused in Cascadia

Nobody likes financially secure, good looking guys with connections. Lose his number immediately and find a chubby dork who works someplace with a drive-up window.

| 5. A purely theoretical response. First, Woman should not define self by appearance or finances. |
|
Second, Woman should not define potential mateys by connectedness, appearance or finances. Third, Woman should immediately re-flash her BIOS to eliminate "I'm shlubby" and any related malware. Finally, Woman needs to discover answers to Basic Questions: Do we play well together? Do we share? Do we hit or bite when angry? Are we good influences on each other? Do we make each other feel bad? ...

| 7. The only thing that matters |
|
is does the hypothetical KiSA (Knight in Shining Armor) treat the hypothetical lady with absolute respect, kindness, and consideration at all times?
If the KiSA does, then the rest of the hypothetical perks are gravy. Enjoy.
